When it comes to hot tub wiring this is not the type of task that just anyone can do. There are special codes to adhere to and techniques to use in order to keep things safe. This is not the type of job you should take on as a DIY project or hire just anyone who claims to be a professional to take care of it.
Even seasoned electricians know there are several issues to use caution with:
- Shut-offs and safety restrictions – Devices such as the fuses and circuit breakers, ground fault circuit interrupters and quick disconnect boxes all have a proper placement. Underground wiring is not permitted under a hot tub.
- Location – The tub must be located away from overhead electrical and communications cables. Depending on the height of the hot tub the closer proximity of water levels to cables is the concern.
- Equipotential – All metallic parts must be bonded by installers. Bonding regulations vary so your local electrical pro should know current codes.
